The primary objective of Line of Sight (LOS) Surveys is to establish a reliable microwave (MW) connection between sites by ensuring clear LOS clearance. This involves physically inspecting the area between potential site locations and evaluating the feasibility of the proposed links.

LOS surveys are crucial as any obstruction or failure in establishing LOS can lead to project delays and potential financial losses. The process is carried out systematically through the following steps:

1. Collect Site Data: Gather the coordinates (latitude and longitude) and building details of the proposed site and nearby locations identified for connectivity.
2. Analyze Obstruction and Terrain: Use the LOS survey template to document any obstructions, terrain data, and other site-specific information that could affect connectivity.
3. Generate LOS Path Profiles: Utilize tools like Pathloss 4.0 to create detailed path profiles for proposed links, assessing the feasibility of the connection.
4. Physical Verification: Conduct on-site inspections to confirm the accuracy of the LOS path profile and identify any unforeseen obstructions in the field.
5. Prepare LOS Reports: Compile comprehensive reports for each proposed link, incorporating data and findings from the path profile and field verification.

By following these meticulous steps, LOS surveys ensure that microwave connections are established efficiently, minimizing risks and ensuring timely project execution. Nxgen excels in conducting precise LOS surveys to facilitate seamless network planning and deployment.
